Rick & Kathy Hilton
At the heads of the table, of course, are Rick and Kathy. Rick is the son of Barron Hilton, who was the son of Conrad Hilton, the hotelier who originally launched the family into the social and business stratosphere. Rick has carried on the real estate aspect of the family business with Hilton & Hyland, his real estate brokerage firm based in Beverly Hills.
Kathy, meanwhile, boasts some fun family facts of her own: her half-sisters are none other than Kim and Kyle Richards. She was also lifelong besties with Michael Jackson. As it turns out, it's no coincidence they both named their daughters Paris.
Despite once saying that she couldn't bear to watch her sisters' lives "fall apart" on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kathy has now (finally, some might say) joined the cast herself, though she did hold out as long as possible when it came to telling her kids about it.
On Paris’s new podcast, This is Paris, she and her sister chatted about their mother’s odd behavior when it came to the show. Nicky said, "first of all, my mom was so shady about the whole thing. Pretty much every year this rumor surfaces: 'Kathy Hilton is joining The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.' And we’re like, ‘No she’s not.’"
When Nicky decided to ask her mom if the rumors were true this time around, Kathy reportedly gave her a straight-faced, "No." Cut to a couple months later and Paris and Nicky find out via People Magazine that Kathy will be indeed appearing on the show's 11th season. Kind of hilarious, and we'll for sure be marking our calendars for that premiere.
